Perhaps you figured out how to fix your email yourself Thursday since your company’s Charlotte office was closed for snow. Maybe you noticed that all of your friends’ social media feeds were super-active. Floridians, the rest of the country took the day off yesterday because they were snowed in.

USA Today reported Thursday that there is snow on the ground in 49 states and the Sunshine State is the 50th.

This was not a story lost on the social media managers at Visit Florida who tweeted about the phenomenon at about 1 p.m Thursday.

The higher elevations of Hawaii’s Mouna Loa and Mouna Kea are snow-capped this time of year and a map from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration shows measurable snow depth in every state except Florida (although the dot on the Arizona map is awfully small).

That’s a reason to celebrate, Floridians and snowbirds alike.

And get back to work, because it looks like we are the only state in the country with full offices, so I imagine the rest of the country is depending on us to keep the economy afloat.
